cos firstly, big ups trans men, unsung dudes love to see it
secondly, gender as a performance

thirdly, i like how complicated it is. as in, i can see the love and support. but i really disagree about some of the thoughts, the compression, the archetyping. i dont think trans men "having to work for it" makes them better men, and i dont think all trans men are strong and gentle. trans men can and are anything, like anyone else. abusive. dickheads. players. liars. cruel. weak. cowards. etc.

like hey my guy 😏 alluring in your sneaks rn

alluring in those sweatpants
alluring in those shorts

bedhead very alluring
alluring beard

the way your eyebrow twitched? hella alluring

carrying that box? driving that car? idk just how your hands are resting on the steering wheel rn.. alluring
hey can you just walk by me again carrying that shovel? the way you walk is alluring

you look alluring in your winter jacket
look alluring wearing that scarf
